ELI5: Why did productivity and pay split in 1979?
Looking at the data from 1979 to 2025, there is a clear "Great Divergence." We are producing nearly 3x more value than we used to, but the typical worker's pay hasn't followed that line for decades. Can someone explain the actual economic or policy shift that caused this gap to stay open for 45 years?
